ton, was born in SkoWhegan, Maine,

of ten children of which he was the last
surviving member. When about sixteen
years of aye he united wi h the Christian
church, in which he WAS from the ontset
faithful and efficient member. Later
he was an honored officer and munihccnt
supporter. But for his energy and his
liberality the church cdhce at Skow-
hogan, would not have erected He was
trusted and prominent citizen in his ma
tive town, holding continually a position
among the sclectmen and twice rep
resented it in the State Legislature.
September, |, 1880, he was united in
marriage to Eliza daughter of Joshua

The children of this union were Joshua
W. Reuel f., Henry H., who died in iu-
fancy, Sarah W, Mrs, II. Douglass, and

For about twenty years NJ. Weston was
the agent of Governor Cobnrn. In the
management of his affairs he was first
brought to this city where he has since
resided. Soon after locating here he
identified himself with the Congrega-

beyond reproach.
Mr.. Weston was u man of deep convic-
tions and fine principles. He was a good
man, full of faith and faithful to all his
relationships. Religion was his life. Adj
vancing years and growing infirm ties
did not abate his zeal, dim his faith, or
diminish his fidelity. He was a firm
friend of Temperance and of all reforms.
He was wise father, Il kind neighbor a
considerate and generous employer,
benevolent man and in business mat

acteristic of the practcl virtue of his

ABRAHAM LlNCoLN's HORSE SWAP
When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in
Illinois, he and the Judge once got to
bantering one another about trading
horses; and it was agreed that the next
morning at o clock they should. make a
trade, the horses to be unseen up to that
hour, and no backing out, under for
fixture of SO At the hour appointed
the Judge came up leading the sorrest
looking specimen of a horse ever seen in
these parts. In few minutes Mr. Lin
coin was seen approaching with a wooden
saw-horse upon his shoulder. Grea
were the shouts and the laughing of the
crowd. and both were greatly increased
when Mr.. Lincoln, on surveying the
Judges animal, set down his saw-horse
exclaiming:
well Judge, this is the first time
ever got the worst of it in horse trade
Grecnyille has never had any protection
from fires, others than that afforded by
the efforts of its citizens with the use of
buckets, but the large and rapidly in
creasing amount of property in that vii
lage will no longer be without protec-
ton. The hand tub kennebec, purss
chased some time ago by NJ e. Shaw
Son and located at their mill yard Bath,
was shipped Greenville, Moosehead Lake,
where the old machine will be used to
protect the village from fire.
